1000+ public functions - X337 - 22.01.2017

Hello, today i've noticed that my gamemode has 1025 public functions.
My question is, is it a normal thing for a gamemode having that much public functions?
Thanks in advance.

Depends upon your intention

I don't think they have any impact on performance, but since the names of public functions are stored in memory this might result in increased memory usage. A function should only be public if either:

• It is a callback
• It is called by a timer
• It is called by CallLocalFunction
• It is called by CallRemoteFunction

In any other case it's unnecessary. If you used a tool to count them then keep in mind that ZCMD commands are also public functions because ZCMD uses CallLocalFunction in the background.

Public functions can be called via CallLocalFunction, CallRemoteFunction, SetTimer, and SetTimerEx.
usage: When creating a timer or a callback

use normal functions whenever you can(dont need to call a timer,etc)

That's basically what Vince already said ...

As far as it doesn't impact on gamemode performance, i think it shouldn't be a problem. But i will keep look out for memory usage.
Thank you so much for your help guys.
